EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures a moment in time on the Norfolk Broads during the 1930s, where a woman is seen hoisting a dead pigeon onto a cane in an unusual attempt to attract birds. Clad in shorts and a beanie hat, she appears determined as she engages in this curious activity.
The image raises many questions - why would someone use a dead pigeon to lure birds? Was it for hunting purposes or perhaps some other reason altogether? The historical context of the 1930s adds another layer of intrigue to this scene, offering us a glimpse into the past and how people interacted with nature during that era.
Despite the somewhat macabre subject matter, there is something oddly captivating about this photograph. The contrast between the woman's casual attire and the lifeless bird creates a striking visual juxtaposition that draws viewers in.
As we ponder over what might have led to this peculiar moment being captured on film, one thing is certain - this print serves as a fascinating reminder of how our relationship with wildlife has evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect on our own interactions with nature and consider how they may have been perceived by those who came before us.
